The AAT/WFI survey of the Monoceros Ring and Canis Major Dwarf galaxy: II. from l = (280 - 025)deg
Blair C. Conn, Richard R. Lane, Geraint F. Lewis +5
This paper concludes a systematic search for evidence of the Monoceros Ring and Canis Major dwarf galaxy around the Galactic Plane. Presented here are the results for the Galactic…
AGB stars as tracers of metallicity and mean age across M33
M. -R. L. Cioni, M. Irwin, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
Wide-field JHKs near-infrared observations covering an area of 1.8x1.8 sq. deg. centred on M33 were obtained using WFCAM at UKIRT. These data show a large population of intermediat…
Metallicity and mean age across M33
M. -R. L. Cioni, M. Irwin, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
New wide-field near-infrared (NIR) imaging observations of M33 were obtained from UKIRT. These show a large population of intermediate-age stars considerably improving on previous…
The AAT/WFI survey of the Monoceros Ring and Canis Major Dwarf galaxy: I. from l = (193 - 276)o
Blair C. Conn, Richard R. Lane, Geraint F. Lewis +8
We present the results of an AAT wide-field camera survey of the stars in the Monoceros Ring and purported Canis Major overdensity in the Galactic longitudes of {\it l} = (193 - 27…
A radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures: III. The Monoceros Ring in front of the Carina and Andromeda galaxies
N. F. Martin, M. J. Irwin, R. A. Ibata +5
As part of our radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that surround the Galactic disc, we report the detection of the so called Monoceros Ring in the foreground…
A radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures: II. The Monoceros Ring behind the Canis Major dwarf galaxy
Blair C. Conn, Nicolas F. Martin, Geraint F. Lewis +3
An AAT/2dF Spectrograph Survey of low Galactic latitudes targeting the putative Canis Major dwarf galaxy, and the (possibly) associated tidal debris of stars known as the Monoceros…
The INT/WFC survey of the Monoceros Ring: Accretion origin or Galactic Anomaly?
Blair C. Conn, Geraint F. Lewis, Mike J. Irwin +4
We present the results of a wide-field camera survey of the stars in the Monoceros Ring, thought to be an additional structure in the Milky Way of unknown origin. Lying roughly in…
The core of the Canis Major galaxy as traced by Red Clump stars
M. Bellazzini, R. Ibata, N. Martin +3
The recently-discovered stellar system in Canis Major is analysed using He-burning Red Clump stars as tracers. Canis Major turns out to be the strongest and most spatially confined…
A radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures: I. Kinematics of the Canis Major dwarf galaxy
N. F. Martin, R. A. Ibata, B. C. Conn +3
As part of a radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures that we undertook with the 2dF spectrograph on the AAT, we present the radial velocities of more than 1500 R…
Correcting the influence of an asymmetric line spread function in 2-degree Field spectrograph data
N. F. Martin, R. A. Ibata, B. C. Conn +2
We investigate the role of asymmetries in the line spread function of the 2-degree field spectrograph and the variations in these asymmetries with the CCD, the plate, the time of o…
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy
Geraint F. Lewis, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Michael J. Irwin +3
Recent observational evidence suggests that the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy represents the only major ongoing accretion event in the Galactic halo, accounting for the majority of stel…
Why the Canis Major overdensity is not due to the Warp: analysis of its radial profile and velocities
N. F. Martin, R. A. Ibata, B. C. Conn +4
In response to criticism by Momany et al. (2004), that the recently-identified Canis Major (CMa) overdensity could be simply explained by the Galactic warp, we present proof of the…
Studies of Mira and semiregular variables using visual databases
T. R. Bedding, B. C. Conn, A. A. Zijlstra
We use wavelets to investigate period and amplitude changes in Mira and semiregular variables and found a variety of behaviours. Period and amplitude changes often go together, per…
